Nonsense those ripped fins always happen when catching/transporting them... those will heal within a week w/ warmer water+salt.
that aro is in bad shape
the barbels will take much longer to grow back. and iv never had a large fish come out looking like that after transport.
that's exactly what it's from. it just came out of the shipping bag 4 days ago. it will be about 2 weeks for them come back to normal again but nothing major only problem is if i ship it. It is going to come in with ripped fins like this because this is just what they do when you ship big ones. I rather do a local sale if could
Thank you
